Zhang Kui and the other two shook off the enemy and t up with Ye Fan and the others.
After suffering so casualties, the enemy only forced Zhang Kui and his group to retreat, and they didn’t dare to pursue too deeply.
"What’s the situation?" Ye Fan asked, looking at Zhang Kui and the others.
"Their warriors are insane, rushing at us with no regard for life or death. We have a feeling that if we’re surrounded, we’ll be riddled with bullets, so we had no choice but to retreat," Zhang Kui said unwillingly.
Seeing their target Black Shark nearly die under their guns, it was naturally frustrating for them to face such a change.
"It seems we have to avoid their edge for now," Zhang Lu sighed.
"Bite back and see if these warriors are truly fearless or if they’re just here to rescue Black Shark without worrying about losses," Ye Fan said calmly. "Black Shark must die, and we can’t let the rescuer off easily."
"We must make the person rescuing Black Shark pay a terrible price so they understand the consequences of offending us," Yang Shu said. "The enemy will only feel the pain after enough casualties. We can’t let them think we’re easy to bully."
Of course, Ye Fan and his seven weren’t easy to bully. Having cornered Black Shark with difficulty, they couldn’t let him go.
"Get close to the enemy, find sniper points, and take them out from a distance. This is our specialty; we must make the enemy feel afraid," Ye Fan commanded.
The seven began to move.
...
In a heavily guarded forest, Black Shark sat across from a burly man with a beard.
This man was General Hawan of D Country, responsible for rescuing Black Shark.
General Hawan looked at the disheveled Black Shark and felt unspeakably pleased. Seeing the fifth team leader of the Lone Wolf rcenary Corps so miserable was quite an opportunity. In the future, Black Shark wouldn’t dare to act arrogant in front of him.
To be honest, General Hawan didn’t even know who he was supposed to rescue until now.
"Black Shark captain, I’m quite curious. Who managed to put you in such an awkward position?" General Hawan said with a smile. "Where are your n? Don’t tell they’re all dead. That would be a pity. I’m eager to know, who is your opponent?"
"All my people are dead, that’s easy to guess," Black Shark said, trying to remain composed. "They used their deaths to buy a chance to escape. They died honorably."
He said puzzled, "I didn’t expect the support my boss ntioned to be you. It’s a surprise."
"Hawk and I are friends," General Hawan replied with a mysterious smile. Then, with a peculiar tone, added, "Of course, more importantly, Hawk’s wallet is quite full, which naturally pleases as a friend."
Black Shark understood; it wasn’t about friendship but more about the money involved.
"General Hawan, may I ask how much I’m worth?" Black Shark asked with a twitch of his mouth.
General Hawan replied cheerfully, "My friend, your life here is worth ten million."
Of course, life is priceless, and Black Shark’s life and death are especially important. This ten million is the fee for involving Hawan, not the true value of Black Shark’s life.
"General Hawan, you’re quite humorous. How can you equate the fee for your action to my life?" Black Shark said with a bitter smile. "I trust General Hawan also values the friendship with the Poison Dragon rcenary Corps."
"Of course, that friendship is expensive and cannot be replaced or described with money," General Hawan’s smile didn’t fade. "However, to solidify our friendship, so financial backing is necessary, don’t you think, Captain Black Shark? To drive away the enemy, I’ve lost thirty-seven of my bravest warriors, all brothers to . Thirty-seven brothers lost, yet we haven’t even taken down a single enemy. If the enemy only has three, and it cost such a price, it shows how strong the enemy is. I believe Captain Black Shark can see that our friendship should advance further, not remain at the initially discussed price."
The thirty-seven fallen warriors naturally died to the guns of Zhang Kui and his companions.
Black Shark understood that General Hawan was unhappy with the agreed price and wanted to take advantage of the situation for more money.
As for the so-called brotherhood, it was nonsense. Black Shark couldn’t bring it up or else it would be awkward for both parties.
"General Hawan, you’ve worked hard. Based on our friendship, the fee is negotiable," Black Shark said. "I can responsibly assure you, I’ll double the fee, how about it?"
"The enemy is strong, all rare snipers. Before discussing price, I want to know, who exactly did you provoke?" General Hawan smiled, seeking a higher price.
"General Hawan, you’ve misunderstood. I didn’t provoke a powerful enemy; the enemy ca for my Poison Dragon rcenary Corps," Black Shark said. "A fellow called Peng Bird wants to deal with the Poison Dragon rcenary Corps."
"Peng Bird? That him?" General Hawan furrowed his brow, understanding a lot.
As a general with substantial power, he naturally knew formidable figures and had plans for who not to provoke.
Peng Bird was definitely one of those Hawan preferred not to deal with, but matching up against the Poison Dragon rcenary Corps, Peng Bird could be ignored.
Black Shark asked, "General Hawan, do you know Peng Bird?"
"I don’t know him, but I’ve heard of him—a tough character," General Hawan pondered.
Black Shark frankly admitted, "I must honestly tell you, the enemy has seven n, all remarkable snipers, with even stronger close combat abilities. My n mostly fell to sniper fire, and they didn’t dare engage in close combat with the enemies. After several battles, I could only retreat, and the enemy followed, leading to my current plight."
"My friend, I’m not greedy. Offer a fair price. In light of this pure friendship, you should provide with a satisfactory price," General Hawan said with a smile. "To prove our friendship is unbreakable, it depends on your sincerity."
Black Shark extended five fingers.
Black Shark nodded with satisfaction, then boldly stated, "Our friendship has deepened fivefold over the original extent. I’m very pleased."
Under eaves, one must bow. To survive, one has to part with money.
Hawan, having successfully raised the agreed business deal to five tis its original price, was jubilant.
